Hold two annual signature events - the first on Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s birthday, and the second during the periods of Christian Holy Week and Jewish Passover - which address the urgency of the climate crisis in the context of social, economic, and racial justice as a moral imperative; and deepens a public awareness of the complicity of those living in the United States for current climate conditions and threats globally

Build the interfaith coalition and bring it as a community to support, service and engagement with climate-change action networks and campaigns as a moral force

Create and disseminate resources and tools of pastoral application that will build resilience and hope and will sustain us in the face of the impacts of climate change as we transform the ways in which we live in the world to effect changes that mitigate current climate trajectories
